Automatically create order-specific SOLIDWORKS® parts, assemblies, and drawings with a 30-day free trial

A 30-day free trial of DriveWorks Solo is the ideal way to automate your SOLIDWORKS designs, speed up design cycles, reduce errors, and free up time to work on more creative design tasks.

What is DriveWorks Solo?

Powerful SOLIDWORKS part, assembly, and drawing automation

DriveWorks Solo sits in the SOLIDWORKS task pane, enabling engineers to configure custom products and automatically generate order-specific SOLIDWORKS parts, assemblies, and drawings. It uses rules-based logic based on engineering knowledge, enabling engineers to capture detailed design know-how for a wide range of product variables.

DriveWorks automates the process of recreating “same but different” designs. Engineers set their design configuration rules once, and then DriveWorks Solo automatically generates new designs. Working with preset rules for design variations on length, width, material, etc., DriveWorks automatically creates new design variations in minutes.

DriveWorks Solo is fast, accurate, and reliable.

It is used by design engineers in a wide range of industries, including HVACtransportation, materials handlingarchitectural components, and furniture.

Why choose DriveWorks Solo?

DriveWorks has been automating SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD since 2001, and DriveWorks Solo is a SOLIDWORKS Certified Gold Product. DriveWorks Solo delivers several benefits for design engineers, including:

  1. Faster designs
  2. Fewer errors
  3. Design compliance

Faster designs

DriveWorks Solo uses rules-based logic, enabling engineers to capture detailed design know-how for a wide range of product variables.

Repetitive design revision tasks that previously required a significant amount of time and resources are automatically generated by DriveWorks. This not only speeds up design output but also frees up design engineers to work on more creative work, such as new product development.

Fewer errors

Because DriveWorks Solo works on rules-based technology, design revisions are automatically generated according to the rules set by design engineers.

Removing the manual element of design revisions reduces the risk of human error and improves overall accuracy rates.

Benefits associated with fewer errors include cost savings as a result of less rework and wastage, faster design cycles, and improved customer satisfaction.

Design compliance

DriveWorks Solo ensures design compliance by using standardised rules and parameters. The rules-based technology in DriveWorks guarantees that the compliance requirements you have set are met at every stage of the process.

Design compliance is key for operational efficiency, product quality, meeting safety requirements, and complying with different local regulations and international standards.
